Military's Exchange beefs up fitness offering through 5 Star Nutrition partnership
Military members and their families can now get expert help at 5 Star Nutrition centers, at select Army & Air Force Exchange Service locations, to help keep themselves in shape throughout the year.
“The Exchange partners with vendors like 5 Star Nutrition to help service members and their families take their fitness to the next level,” Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Luis Reyes, the Exchange’s senior enlisted advisor said. “A 'BE FIT' lifestyle is a priority to both military service and an active family life.”
Each 5 Star Nutrition location offers a free consultation, which includes using InBody machines that provide medical-grade body composition analyses to track body fat and lean muscle mass to monitor results. The analysis is combined with customized meal planning and free samples of almost all products for a comprehensive fitness and nutrition plan. All Exchange 5 Star Nutrition locations also offer a 25% discount for active and retired military.
The Exchange is focused on bringing BE FIT products, meals and snacks to soldiers as well as offering national brands to military shoppers at competitive prices.
The Exchange opened its first 5 Star Nutrition at Fort Bliss in 2015, and since then locations have opened at 11 additional locations, including one in West Point.
Since 1895, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service (Exchange) has gone where soldiers and their families go to improve the quality of their lives by providing valued goods and services at exclusive military pricing. As the 56th-largest retailer in the United States, Exchange earnings provided $2.4 billion in dividends to support military morale, welfare and recreation programs over the last 10 years.
The Exchange is a non-appropriated fund entity of the Department of Defense.
